A Festive Ritual …….. But Early

With the festive season tantalisingly almost upon us, Darrell, in time honoured style, decided that rather than tackle his traditional festive oven cleaning in December, he’d start a new one by doing it in the last week of November instead, saying that said month really ought to be filled with much more pleasant and exciting tasks.  “December had no place for wielding a foaming Brillo!” he announced.

Now, it has to be said that as Darrell has been trying to use the slow cooker, hob and microwave a little more in an effort to save on fuel costs, the oven wasn’t in too bad a state ………..

……. however, all the trays, racks and shelves were still consigned to the mahoosive Dr Magic oven cleaning bag to soak in their juices in the bath overnight ……….

……. while Darrell tackled the insides and door.

The finished results were …….. a joy to behold. The oven almost looked brand new and while Nigel and I stood and admired the fruits of Darrell’s pre-festive labours ……….

…….. the “man of the hour” – well several hours, took to the sofa for what was left of the afternoon to recover.  What is he like, but our true mean, cleaning machine hero!
